Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06757153RecruitingEarly Phase 1
NRG-103 injection for recurrent glioblastoma patients
This trial tests an injection called NRG-103 given directly into the cavity where a recurrent brain tumor was removed. It is for people with glioblastoma that has come back and who have already had standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07511725RecruitingPhase 2
Thiotepa spinal injection to prevent glioblastoma spread
This trial tests whether injecting a chemotherapy drug called thiotepa into the fluid around the brain and spine can prevent glioblastoma from spreading in patients whose tumor touches the fluid-filled spaces or who had a leak during surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07501559RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of JL15003 for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial is testing a new drug (JL15003) given directly into the brain tumor using a small device called an Ommaya reservoir. It is for people whose glioblastoma has come back despite standard treatments. You will need to have had a polio vaccine booster before starting.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07488754Recruiting
Targeted radiation therapy for new glioma (grade 3-4)
This trial tests a new type of targeted radiation therapy for people with high-grade glioma (grade 3 or 4) that has not progressed after standard treatment. The therapy uses a radioactive substance attached to a protein that targets tumor cells, aiming to deliver radiation directly to the cancer.
Warsaw, PolandAges 18–80 - NCT07485049RecruitingEarly Phase 1
BGB-58067 for newly diagnosed glioblastoma with MTAP deletion
This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug (BGB-58067) for people with a newly diagnosed glioblastoma that has a specific gene deletion (MTAP). It aims to see if the drug can shrink the tumor or slow its growth.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06782984Recruiting
Testing drugs on your glioblastoma tumor model
This trial uses a lab-grown model of your tumor (called an organoid) to test whether different drugs might work against it. The goal is to find the best treatment for your specific glioblastoma.
Daejeon, Chungcheongnam-doAges Any age - NCT07464925RecruitingPhase 1
Testing GLIX1 for adults with returning high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new drug called GLIX1 to find a safe dose for people whose high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) has come back or is getting worse after earlier treatments. It may be an option if you've had no more than two prior treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07461948RecruitingPhase 3
Advanced imaging study for glioblastoma patients
This trial uses special MRI scans and a contrast agent to look at the immune environment of glioblastoma tumors. It may help doctors learn more about how the tumor responds to treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05911230Recruiting
MRI test to tell tumor return from temporary treatment effects
This study uses an advanced MRI scan to help doctors tell the difference between true tumor regrowth and “pseudoprogression,” which is a temporary treatment-related change that can look like progression. If it works, it may guide the safest next steps, including whether surgery is helpful.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06113705Recruiting
Better MRI and blood tests for glioblastoma treatment response
This study is testing whether special MRI scans and blood tests can help tell the difference between true tumor growth (progression) and a treatment-related reaction called 'pseudoprogression' in people with glioblastoma. The goal is to make treatment decisions more accurate.
RozzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07417774Enrolling by invitation
Blood test monitoring for glioblastoma treated with chemoradiation and oxygen therapy
This substudy looks at a blood test (liquid biopsy) to track glioblastoma during standard chemoradiation and an experimental oxygen-boosting drug. It aims to see if the test can help monitor the tumor more easily than scans alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07409584Recruiting
